downgrade to 9.2 fail, sync iphone with 2 computers

I want to sync my iphone to two computers, a Macbook and my Windows 7 Desktop. Ive searched and read that i need to downgrade to itunes 9.2.1 to start with after deleting all records and reminences of itunes 10.4

after install and plugging in my iphone to sync and start the process, itunes says that "the Phone "Name" Cannot be used because it requires itunes version 10.1 or later"

so what do i do now? is there a way to sync my iphone to two computers with itunes 10, without having to downgrade? what other steps can i do to get itunes 9.2 to recognize my iphone to sync

Apple never intended for these devices to be synced with two computers, and this is primarily because of copyright restrictions from the music industry. It's not supposed to be easy.

The reason you can't downgrade is because you're running a newer version of iOS on your device. The older version of iTunes doesn't know how to talk to it. Things have changed. You also can't downgrade your iOS device.

i know that apple devices aren't intended to go outside the box... if it really wasn't intended we wouldn't have these forums and if you wanted anything you would just call apple tech support or goto the genius bar for help. someone has to have tried or has found a way to go around apple devices to make them work the way they wanted to

If these are the instructions, then why would you post a topic about it? Wouldn't it have actually worked? Oh wait. They're from 2008. Good luck.

Like I said. Not doable right now.

Hahahaha, exactly. To even begin to do this as well, you'd have to downgrade your iPhone software to whatever was out when the 9.2 versions of iTunes was out, considering anything over 4 requires you to have iTunes 10

I sync with two computers, I use my Windows PC for everything to do with music, apps etc and use my macbook for syncing photos so syncing to 2 computeres is more than possible

This has been possible for a long time, although I'm fairly certain that this is not what the OP was referring to. He wants full syncing freedom across two unique machines, but partial syncing/separation across two machines. I already do this with my Work/Home desktops.
